CC16 and CC32 Precautions
|
|---|
Please take note of the following problem in using cross-tool kits CC16 for the M16 family and CC32 for the M32 family of 32-bit microcomputers.
Problem Caused by Using Librarians after the year 2000
- Versions Concerned
All the versions of the CC16 and CC32 products are concerned with this problem.
- Description
If library files are created or updated by using librarian lib16 or lib32 included in CC16 or CC32 after the year 2000, the files generated will be incorrect ones. Consequently, if programs are linked with such ill-generated library files, the linker will abend. However, when library files are not created or altered, but only referenced or extracted, they can be used normally in linking. Note that this problem occurs only in librarians lib16 and lib32 and not in the other tools of the cross-tool kits.
- Remedies
- (1) In CC16
The modified version of lib16 is due to be released on our tool homepage on September 1, 1999, so please download it from there to replace the current one. If circumstances prevent you from downloading the modified version, contact your local Renesas Technology sales office or distributor, and it will be sent to you on request (after September 1).
* The upgrade service for lib16 has been terminated, because CC16 is a discontinued product.
- (2) In CC32
Don't create or update library files by using lib32 after the year 2000. In linking, object files should be handled directly by the linker.
